Joél Huiqui, a former player for Cruz Azul and Monarcas Morelia, has taken on the role of Mexican coach for the Liga MX team. He was brought in as an emergency solution but has since guided the club to a championship victory.

Huiqui's performance has earned him the trust of the team's management and the support of the "cementera" fanbase. Supporters have praised his team's style of play and his management of the squad.

With a new tournament underway, Huiqui aims to further consolidate his project. He continues to demonstrate the capabilities he began developing during his early coaching experiences in the club's lower divisions. Academically, Huiqui completed his basic studies in Sinaloa. However, his professional football career led him to temporarily set aside his studies to focus on high-performance sports.

After concluding his playing career, Huiqui returned to his studies to prepare as a technical director. This decision is now yielding positive results, as evidenced by the team's recent Mexican football title.
